SVN error - how to repair folder

I've got problem with local copy of SVN folder

$ svn up
svn: REPORT of '/svn-xxx/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read chunk size: connection was closed by server (http://127.0.0.1)
$ svn cleanup
$ svn up
svn: REPORT of '/svn-xxx/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read chunk size: connection was closed by server (http://127.0.0.1)
$ svn status
!       .
!       TM
?       newTM/backup

I do not want to delete and restore whole folder because it contains many additional, ignored stuff

On another exported copy, with the same server, everything works flawlessly.

How can I proceed with svn up ?

I would probably go with copying all files as you suggested (voted up)

  • Checkout to new folder

  • Copy all from old to new without overwriting and without .svn

    rsync -av --exclude=.svn --ignore-existing old/ new/

The easy way would be to use TortoiseSvn. However, I'm guessing you are on unix.

  • cp to the new directory from your working copy.
  • Delete alll !svn folders

Here's a better explanation of my answer Possible to svn export and include unversioned files?

Check that all files, and unversioned files are in the exported directory first!!!

Then...

After you export to another directory you can delete the entire contents of your working copy. Do a clean checkout to where your working copy used to be. then copy your exported files over your working copy.

  • Rename the folder
  • Checkout the folder (svn co path/to/folder/)
  • Copy files from the old folder to the new one (but avoid .svn directories!)
  • When everything works: delete renamed old folder

Can you create a patch? That way you could do a fresh checkout and apply the patch.
